Plan International UK strives to advance children’s rights and equality for girls all over the world. Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children. We have been building powerful partnerships for children for 80 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.
The Policy and Programmes Directorate supports our aims by ensuring that we deliver the highest quality policy and programmes. We constantly enhance programme quality and effectiveness, raise income from institutional donors (like the British Government), and drive change through setting and influencing policy agendas.

This will include travel for up to 30 days per year to Country Offices to support projects, including those in insecure environments.
You will have significant experience in a finance related role in an INGO environment and within the humanitarian context, managing grants from donors such as DFID and ECHO. You will be familiar with Value for Money and International Aid Transparency Initiatives and either hold, or be working towards, a CCAB recognised qualification.
